If that were possible, all of us would be legal already. The immigration process is much more complicated than that and unfortunately 'just wanting to stay here' will not be a good enough reason to be given legal residency.

Do you qualify for the DREAM Act? Because if you do, I recommend you stay in the country until at least 2010 to see what happens with it. And also help us in the effort to pass it. And whatever you do, make sure you consider all your options very carefully before making a decision.

And welcome!
